Sputum: For the past months ,and even... - British Lung Foun...

For the past months ,and even without infection I get tiny brownish ,black speckles in my sputum anyone no what this could be ,i,wonder sometimes if it is blood and jet it doesn't look like blood ,does anyone else have this

Ask them to look for aspergillosis which is a fungus which can bother us. It is very treatable but I think it is more a case of ruling it out and that what you are seeing are tiny old blood spots. Best to get it checked either way. I hope that you have a consultant. My GP asked ' what is aspergillosis?'

I've recently come out of hospital and the consultant there decided to do a blood test for it as it can be quite common in people with low immune system and lung disease but if your still smoking it's probably due to that x
